Association de las Rutas y Caminos de la Sal

Minutes of the Meeting held on Thursday 16th June 2011

1. Welcome and introduction of new members: Maureen welcomed Crystal and Gregory.
2. Minutes were approved.
3. Matters Arising: Monthly meetings and investigation of alternative venues - Maureen has made enquiries but no suitable venue has been found. We will look into the possibility of using the Park Information Centre on Thursday afternoons.
4. Emaus: Jenny visited the orphanage and delivered our donation. She gave us a brief outline of her visit and explained that this is a very worthwhile charity. We are not a fund raising group but it was suggested that, on some of our events, we could ask for a donation for this charity.
5. Letter - re. water level of the lake: Doug explained that insufficient water is being channelled into the lagoon and this is affecting wildlife. He has composed a detailed letter and has suggested that the letter should represent the thoughts and concerns of the group. It has been observed that there has been an increase in the flow of water to the lagoon recently and this will be noted in the letter. The letter will be translated and then passed to the staff of the Park for their approval before being sent to the Salt Company.
5. Treasurer's Report: Geoff stated that there is 111.70 Euros in the account and 10 Euros in petty cash. The bank charges are now 3.33 Euros per month. Geoff has received a receipt from Emaus for 110 Euros.

Date of Next Meeting: Thursday 14th July at 10 a.m. at the Park Information Centre
